[QUOTE="Sean Zurbrick, post: 139587, member: 208"] Re: Wonder what Bose is up to? The usual slick design / form factor from BOSE, but it looks to me to have a possibly significant deployment issue..... overall it's too short. Notice the video had the system on a stage in every example. In the real world I'd guess 75% of the time there will be no raised performance area and the speakers will sit on the floor. I can see many cases where there simply won't be enough room for the sound to spread out before being blocked by a body. Dance floor bodies, or bodies from that table you had to put the speaker stack near because there was nowhere else to go. I know a lot of BOSE designs are all about "room filling sound" which means angling drivers so sound is reflected all over the place, but the designs I'm remembering are left-right angles. These drivers appear to be all front facing and therefore more easily blocked. So the steering is "nice", but if you start out at the wrong height, you may not be able to steer anywhere worth going.
